'7TH' HEADS TO HEAVEN, AGAIN
By Brian Ford Sullivan (TFC)

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- 11 seasons, 243 episodes and one resurrection later, "7th Heaven" will officially call it quits on Sunday, May 13 at 8:00/7:00c.

The news, confirmed by the CW yesterday, comes less than a year after its much-ballyhooed reprieve by the netlet.

To date this season the series has averaged 3.24 million viewers with solid numbers among adults 18-34 (1.3 rating) and women 18-34 (1.9 rating).

The original swan song - "And Thank You" - drew 7.2 million viewers on May 8, 2006.

"Heaven" series finale set for May
By Kimberly Nordyke

It's a wrap for "7th Heaven." The long-running drama, which debuted in 1996 on WB Network and now airs on the CW, will have its series finale May 13 in its regular 8 p.m. slot. The hour-long episode, titled "And Away We Go," will actually mark the second time the show was scheduled to have a series finale.

"Heaven's" 10th-season finale aired on WB in May amid much fanfare about it being the series closer, delivering its highest marks in more than two years with an episode that appeared to wrap up many loose ends in the show about a minister (Stephen Collins) and his sprawling family.

But the CW, which launched in September after the merger of WB and UPN, gave "Heaven" a last-minute renewal in May, announcing that the show would return in fall 2006 in its signature Monday 8 p.m. slot as part of the CW's inaugural lineup. In October, the network switched its Sunday and Monday lineups, moving "Heaven" to 8 p.m. Sunday.

Season-to-date, the series is averaging 3.4 million total viewers and a 1.3 rating in the network's target demo of adults 18-34.

"Heaven," whose debut on August 26, 1996, marked the first-ever Monday broadcast of the then-fledging WB Network, will bow out as the longest-running family drama on television

Proving once again that time slots matter. It isn't the ONLY thing that matters, but it can be devastating.

Fast nationals are in:


Total Viewers:
ABC: 13.44 million, CBS: 12.72, Fox: 7.20, NBC: 7.06, CW: 3.81

Adults 18-49:
ABC: 5.2 rating/15 share, CBS: 3.6/10, NBC: 3.1/ 9, Fox: 2.5/ 7, CW: 1.6/ 4


Smallville
Viewers: 4.03 million; A18-49: #5, 1.7/ 5.

Supernatural
Viewers: 3.58 million; A18-49: #5, 1.4/ 4.


SV might actually drop below 4M this week when the finals come in (due to the preemptions again in Chicago.)

 

[avidreader]

It was also pre-empted in San Antonio, although I'm not sure how big that market is.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

^ 9th biggest media market in the US

Not as big as Chicago, but it'll definitely make a dent.

Apparently, a lot of shows in the 8pm time slot this week were down, so I guess this is par for the course for spring and DST. People just aren't inside watching TV early in the evening at that time, and especially in the summer.

May sweeps kick in soon, so I hope the ratings go up a little before the summer hiatus.

 

[Cmill216]

Blah numbers for SV. Good numbers for SPN.

 

[Eros]

I actually enjoyed supernatural more then smallville, last nights hollywood episode renewed my interest in the show.

At least Smallville is consistent.

Finals from Travis over at PiFeedback:

Smallville
- 3.976 million viewers
- 2.4/4 HH
- 1.7/5 A18-49
- 1.9/7 A18-34

Supernatural
- 3.251 million viewers
- 1.9/3 HH
- 1.3/3 A18-49
- 1.4/4 A18-34

The preemptions in various markets took its toll, which sux. Oh well.

 

[KalKai]

Gilmore Girls didn't do so well either:

Gilmore Girls
- 3.793 million viewers
- 2.7/4 HH
- 1.7/5 A18-49
- 2.1/6 A18-34

All shows took a hit after the hiatus.

 

[avidreader]

My kids are on Spring Break this week, and I'm sure our district isnt the only district. Its just so typical for this time of the year for the ratings to fall off a bit.

Excerpt from Variety's roundup of TV Ratings for last week:

The CW was paced as usual by Wednesday's "America's Next Top Model" (2.6/8, 5.20m), which nearly won its hour in 18-49 while prevailing in adults 18-34 (3.2/10). Net was also bolstered by the first original episodes in a while for "Gilmore Girls" (1.7/5, 3.79m) and "Smallville" (1.7/5, 3.98m).

And from E-Online, the following excerpt listed as a "ratings highlight" from the TV week ended Sunday:

Smallville (88th place, 4 million) and Gilmore Girls (91st place, 3.793 million) kept the CW from being otherwise distinguished by Friday Night Smackdown (92nd place, 3.785 million).

Despite seemingly low ratings last week, SV is still CW's #1 scripted show.

Thursday was the first day for May sweeps.

but lead-out "Supernatural" (1.4/3 in 18-49, 3.3 million viewers overall) was on par with its 2006 numbers.

And considering those 2006 numbers weren't against Grey's Anatomy....

 

[rumpuso]

Thanks for posting the numbers, Pat. Do you have any thoughts why Smallville's numbers were 20% off from last years numbers at this time? I know the numbers lower at this time of year, but they seem to have lowered even more within that parameter. Just curious...

From a completely un-scientific point of view, I blame Lexana and the lack of a consistent arc for Clark this season.

 

[AssMan]
